The Western Australian Police Force advised the following:
(a) The hours of operation within Regional WA vary dependant on rostering, number of staff and operational need. Each of the 7 Regional Districts has a police station (Albany, Bunbury, Kalgoorlie, Karratha, Northam, Broome and Geraldton) that operates 24/7, including receiving diverted calls from other stations within their District.
Most Metropolitan Police Stations are open to the public from 8:00am to 4:00pm, Monday to Friday, with officers rostered in addition to these hours to service the investigation and engagement needs of the sub-district.
The WA Police Force has extended opening hours at Belmont, Canning Vale, and Forrestfield Police Stations 8:00am to 7:00pm, Monday to Friday.
Armadale, Cannington, Cockburn, Ellenbrook, Fremantle, Joondalup, Mandurah, Midland, Mirrabooka and Perth police stations operate 24/7. As of 24 July 2017, Armadale, Ellenbrook and Cockburn Police Stations commenced 24/7 Front Counter Services.
The WA Police Force website, www.police.wa.gov.au , contains detailed information about each station, including hours of operation, physical location, phone numbers, suburbs within that sub-district, and interactive maps indicating coverage.
